WHAT A SENSATIONAL SPRING!!
Don’t you agree that this
is turning out to be a most gloriously colorful Seattle spring?!? The gardens
along Queen Anne Avenue at Galer, Boston, and McGraw are happening places.
Here’s some of what you’ll see:
·
The wisteria
blooming at Galer. It’s beautiful with its delicate purple flowers trailing
along the top of the rock wall;
·
Variegated yellow
and green yuccas along with the cotoneaster’s red berries providing a striking presence
alongside the Galer Stairs;
·
Yarrow and Lenten
roses blooming in many of the gardens;
·
Yellow daffodils
dancing in the sun under the ginkgo trees on Boston. This is Ellen’s Daffodil Garden
as it was she who expended much elbow grease digging in compacted soil to plant
the King Alfred bulbs donated by Allan Rosenthal;
·
The long-awaited
donor-inscribed pavers that the Vertumni crew will be installing in the Boston
garden this Saturday morning.
People often ask whose
gardens these are and who is responsible for their upkeep. They belong to the
community and were created and are maintained by you: the residents, business owners, and property
owners ---everyone who founded, volunteers for, and donates to Picture
Perfect Queen Anne. To that end, five stones will be installed in the gardens
on Saturday-- two at Galer, two at McGraw, one at Boston--that have been
inscribed with our organization’s name and logo.
Thank you to Donna at
Mammoth Stoneworks who deftly etched all the paver and stone inscriptions.
Please, do walk by and take
a look at all that’s new and wonderful in the gardens.
